I have been absent from here for a few years and lots of stuff passes in that time , a few years ago a friend of mine put me on to a company that deals with the theft and subsequent re-use of our images for commercial gain

the company is PIXSY.COM

and I signed up to there system , they link to wherever you have posted published your images and no matter how safe you think your pics are rest assured there not . and trust me its just not your best images that get stolen anything is fair game even holiday snaps .

I found quiet a few of my images being used commercially and instructed PIXSY to chase them up , they dont work for nothing and take 50% of any payout but half of something with no work is better than half of nothing ...

the end result is I had several payouts last year totalling in excess of 2 grand a couple of them being £500 plus and they ranged from a large American catering company using one of my shots as its logo to a international travel firm using a holiday snap of mine in its catalogue .

at present they are chasing a few national papers for me over a image to .. made more from this than from actually selling images :readthis:
